Combined Soul Skill

Combined Soul Skill Bai Yan looked at Quan Yi with a smile. "Quan Yi, explain it. Let us hear what you think."

Quan Yi gathered his thoughts and said, "Xiao Wu, don't forget one thing—the difference in level between you and Teacher Bai Yan.

"Although Teacher Bai Yan limited her Soul Power Level, she was still seven levels higher than you.

"But the result was an even match. No, if your Soul Power Level reached level twenty, your First Soul Skill could completely crush Teacher Bai Yan's First Soul Skill."

That was right. It was indeed the case.

Huo Wu suddenly understood. Quan Yi's words had jolted her awake.

Bai Yan continued asking, "Mm, not bad. You observed very carefully. Anything else?"

Bai Yan was very pleased with the clever Quan Yi, and delighted at finding such talent, she wanted to test him a little further.

"Also, Teacher's First Soul Skill actually limited Teacher's speed advantage as an Agility Attack System Soul Master.

"Because the attack requires you to flap your wings, Teacher inevitably slows down while in the air. And Flame Feather Assault itself isn't fast, so it's even less of a threat to a Battle Soul Master of the same level.

"To put it simply, Flame Feather Assault isn't very powerful, isn't very fast, and even restricts your own movement."

From just one simple battle, Quan Yi had actually managed to analyze so many things. Huo Wu was truly a little dumbfounded.

After hearing Quan Yi's analysis, Bai Yan was also sincerely astonished. This was a six-year-old? Bai Yan carefully sized up Quan Yi, whose height was almost catching up to her own, and an inexplicable doubt arose in her heart.

"Not bad. Your analysis is very accurate. To me, Flame Feather Assault is completely useless. To put it more seriously, it could even be called a burden."

Quan Yi and Huo Wu could clearly feel Bai Yan's dissatisfaction with this Soul Skill from her words.

"Let me state the conclusion first. This Soul Skill leans toward the Power Attack System, not the Agility Attack System. However, my Martial Soul doesn't have an advantage in strength or flame intensity, so it can't fully bring out this Soul Skill's potential."

As Bai Yan spoke, she looked at Quan Yi, then continued, "This is why I said before that the focus should be on Promote Strengths. When absorbing Soul Rings, Compensate Weaknesses is actually a very poor-value choice."

"I hope you won't make the same mistake I did in the future."

These were Bai Yan's heartfelt words, as well as her earnest warning to Quan Yi and Huo Wu.

"Yes, Teacher."

Quan Yi and Huo Wu sensed Bai Yan's good intentions, and their sense of recognition toward this teacher deepened.

The Promote Strengths Teacher Bai Yan mentioned referred to the choice of Soul Rings, not changes in methods. On this point, Quan Yi also agreed with Teacher Bai Yan's view.

However, Quan Yi had an advantage others did not: the powerful Fire Control ability that came with his Martial Soul.

This ability allowed him to control intangible flames in the palm of his hand. Quan Yi did not need to obtain Soul Rings that did not fit his own development in order to make up for his weaknesses.

As his understanding of his Martial Soul gradually deepened, Quan Yi also gained a deeper understanding of the power of the Blazing Sun Gauntlets.

"All right, that's it for the pre-battle review. Today will be the same as yesterday. I'll give you fifteen minutes to discuss."

After saying that, Bai Yan lit a stick of incense and closed her eyes to rest.

This time, Huo Wu reacted quickly. She immediately grabbed Quan Yi's hand and ran off at high speed.

Huo Wu looked full of fighting spirit today. It seemed yesterday's battle had given her great confidence.

However, there was still some worry on Huo Wu's face.

"What do we do? After yesterday's battle, Teacher will definitely focus on guarding against our ranged attacks. We can only end up in a passive position."

Yesterday's tactic had mainly relied on surprise, but now that Teacher Bai Yan already knew Quan Yi and Huo Wu's trump cards, it would be very hard for it to work.

Huo Wu knew very well that she was the opening. Once Teacher kited her and exhausted her soul power, she could only lose.

But Quan Yi revealed a mysterious smile.

"No. Teacher will only focus on guarding against 'your' ranged attacks." Quan Yi pointed at Huo Wu with his finger and said with ulterior motives.

"'Me'?" Huo Wu looked at Quan Yi's fingertip and asked in confusion.

Quan Yi leaned close to Huo Wu's ear and slowly explained his plan.

A quarter of an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

As the incense burned out, Bai Yan slowly opened her eyes.

Quan Yi and Huo Wu were still in a formation with one in front and one behind. However, this time, both of them had stones wrapped around their hands and waists.

"Mm, carrying the weapons directly on your bodies. A very smart choice." Bai Yan looked at the two expressionlessly, but inwardly, she greatly praised their arrangement.

This was Quan Yi's plan. Since their originally hidden methods were being guarded against, they would bring them out into the open and display them openly.

Doing this not only made it convenient for Quan Yi and Huo Wu to throw them at any time, but also served as a deterrent.

Bai Yan took out another stick of incense and lit it.

"I declare that the battle officially begins."

At the first moment, Bai Yan used Martial Soul Possession, and her figure immediately grew by several dozen centimeters.

This time, Bai Yan did not carry out a probing attack. She shot straight into the sky and charged directly toward Huo Wu behind him.

Huo Wu and Quan Yi also summoned their Martial Souls at the same time, and dazzling light flashed from both of them for a moment.

Quan Yi was still guarding against ground attacks, standing in front of Huo Wu.

Facing Bai Yan's attack, Huo Wu looked calm, as if she had long since prepared for it.

Huo Wu raised her right hand, a stone clenched in it, and took aim at Bai Yan in the sky.

But Bai Yan did not care in the slightest. Her expression remained calm as she watched Huo Wu.

She had already seen Huo Wu's "Egg in Egg"—using an explosion for a second-stage boost to increase attack range.

But if she knew it was coming, then with Bai Yan's speed, she could completely escape the blast radius.

What was more, Bai Yan had also discovered the flaw in that second-stage boost.

"Flame Feather Assault! Flame Feather Assault!"

Bai Yan struck first. Six red arrow-lights descended from the sky, locking directly onto Huo Wu.

"Flame Bullet."

The Flame Bullet, carrying the stone with it, shot toward the arrow-lights at high speed.

The instant the two collided, a tremendous explosion rang through the heavens. The six feather arrows were obliterated by the blast in an instant.

Flying in the air, Bai Yan could clearly feel the violent tremors in the air against her skin. One could imagine just how terrifying its power was.

The force of the explosion far exceeded the explosive power of Huo Wu's Flame Bullet.

At that moment, Quan Yi seized the opportunity and detonated Rhino's Mark. The combined explosion of the Flame Bullet and Rhino's Mark multiplied its power several times over.

The Flame Bullet's high temperature and Rhino's Mark's explosive force combined to form a simple Combined Soul Skill.

Seeing the power of this Combined Soul Skill, Bai Yan did not feel threatened at all. Instead, she felt somewhat relieved.

"So this is your limit."

Bai Yan's voice came from the air.

Quan Yi and Huo Wu's Combined Soul Skill had one fatal flaw: instability.

Controlling a soul skill to perform a second-stage launch—such a fantastical move required a Spirit Master's exceptional control.

However, flame was inherently unstable energy. Once Huo Wu's Flame Bullet was disturbed by an external object, it could no longer be propelled with precision.

Bai Yan only needed one Flame Feather Assault to consume both Quan Yi's and Huo Wu's Soul Power at the same time.

Therefore, although this Combined Soul Skill's power was astonishing, it posed no threat to Bai Yan at all.
